I think the valve hardware survey tells us how much they are really going to sell...... . I mean they even have the enthusiast line of people such as us split up ina decision weather it is worth it or not! The usuall consumer probably spends about $500-600 on the computer itself, the tower only. They sure as hell are not about to spend $250 on a card to do physics when they are running onboard video or $100 video card for that matter.
I think it is the wrong thing to sell the physics card seperatly. I have seen people bash ATI/NVIDIA for their solution using a video card to do the work.....well this solution will help out in 95% of the situations as opposed to 1 out of 10 games that would benefit using the ageia card. I figure that if the video card on sli or crossfire is not being used for physics, then it will be able to be used for graphics. So this would be a win win situation. One card either helps the FPS and visual quality or it can do the physics work.
Antec 500 SP $50 after MIR
CPU 146 running at 3.0ghz $160
7900GT $300
DFI Ultra-D $110
G.Skill 2x1gb ddr500 $150
Ageia PPU **********$250*********Kiss my ass, not going to happen
So there, my $0.02 from somebody not about to pay $250 for this Ageia card.
